Speaking at the UFC 153 post-fight press conference, White said: "I know this - the Georges St-Pierre fight is a big fight. I think the Jon Jones fight is a big fight.

"I know my man says, 'No, no, no,' but the amount of money that would be offered for that fight, I guarantee you I will make Anderson Silva say, 'Yes, yes, yes'"

White continued during the post-fight show on FUEL TV, saying that he wanted to see Silva face both St-Pierre and Jones before the Brazilian retired from the sport.

"How many guys in the UFC have said a fight won't happen, and then it does?" asked White.

"Anderson has broken every record in the UFC. He's 37 and Bonnar is 35. He's younger. Bonnar is bigger than him. He came to win this fight.

"Anderson loves the challenge. I think he will take the fight with Jon. Not to mention the fact that the money would be hard for either of them to turn it down.

"There's no doubt who's the number one fighter of all time. Then you can argue over who is number two and three. This would clean up the debate of who's the best fighter in the world. It'll be about who's the greatest.

"But you've got to understand, timing is everything. We have shows to run. We can't sit around and wait. If you think I don't want to see both these fights happen, you're crazy. I do."
